Note: Wire isn’t covering Joan Osbourne. It’s the post-pop single and opening track from the legendary UK post-punkers’ 11th studio album — the 47th overall item in the discography — fittingly called Object 47. They wrote it themselves. “One Of Us” doesn’t have the coiled energy of the band’s best work, but after a dozen listens, it’s definitely grown on us. Object is the first full-length since 2003’s Send — the band’s currently working as the trio of Colin Newman, Graham Lewis, and Robert Grey — but if you heard ’07’s Read And Burn 03 EP, you might assume you’d have a better idea of what to expect. OK, not really. “One Of Us” has a super bass sound, but this is something less jagged, all-around smoother, with a (small) stadium-arced chorus. Just in time for festival season.
